     We are most often called upon to support others in friendship. Several years ago, Donna had
been feeling very depressed(沮丧的). She had just broken up with her boyfriend of two years,
and she was having a very difficult time accepting the loss. She had been laid up with a knee injury
for several days, and the time alone at home certainly was not helping. Her misery(可怜)was only
increased by her being discouraged at herself for not being able to cheer up and stop crying all the
time.
     Early one morning Donna received a phone call with some terrible news: her best friend"s brother
had been killed in a car accident. Donna had known this friend, Mary, and her brother nearly her
entire life, and the news was shocking. However, Donna quickly pulled herself together, got in the
car, and drove to her friend"s house to be there with her.
     Over the course of the next few days, when attending the funeral(葬礼) and receiving the hundreds
of visitors, Donna was 100 percent present for Mary. She held her close while she cried her endless
tears, sat by her side as the waves of sadness washed over her friend, and slept on the floor next to
Mary"s bed to make sure she did not wake up alone in the middle of the night. During that time she
felt hardly any pain in her knee at all and none of the depression she had been experiencing.
     Several weeks later, when life began to return to normal, Donna realized that the level of support
she had given. Mary had been far greater than any support she had offered herself during her dark
time. She was able to use the support she had given her friend as a mirror for the support she had
been holding back from herself. She realized that her own tears required as much care and attention
from her as anyone else"s, and that if she could give it to another, she must be able to give it to herself,
too.

1. The underlined part "pulled herself together" in the second paragraph probably means____ A. put on her clothes
B. dressed herself up

a. Mary telephoned Donna.b. Donna broke up with her boyfriend.

B. b-d-a-c-e
C. d-b-c-a-e
D. b-d-c-a-e 3. The most suitable title for this passage is ___________. A. Friendship
B. Support
C. Donna"s Depression
D. Shocking News 4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________________________. A. Donna could have supported herself more to reduce her own depression.
B. Donna had given Mary much greater support than she had done herself.
C. Donna paid much attention to and showed lots of care for herself during her dark time.
D. With Donna"s help, life began to return to normal.

完形填空。                                                    Teach Me in the way To Go
      I grew up in a very poor Catholic family. My father used some 1 ways to teach us and rarely
spared us from the school of hard lessons. This is the one I 2 most.
     On the first day of 2nd grade, my father asked me if I could  3 well. "Yes, I can," I said. So he
gave me a hand-drawn 4 with street names and directions on how to walk to school. School is 3
miles away, and I had never been off my home street by myself, ever.
     The 5 he gave me as he sends me the map with my lunch box and jacket said very little, he   6
says, "Everything you need to know is written on the map, read the map and  7 the directions."
Okay, by now I was standing in 8 at his request, scared to death, but he kissed me goodbye and
sent me out the door. And   9 I went to school, crying, but   10  .
     I don"t know how long it took for me to get there, or how many fearful and anxious   11 I had,
but I do remember forever   12 it felt when I came around the last corner, and saw my school. The
13 , the laughter, the joy. I had made it! I jumped   14 and angry as I was with my Dad, I wished
I could tell him   15   that I had done it.
     He wasn"t there when I got home and I was  16 when he got home. The next day I waited for
him to ask what had happened. He never did. We laughed and talked and our   17 began.
     Years later I finally got the  18  to ask him why he did that and why he hadn"t cared about what
had happened. He just looked at me for a few minutes then said, "I didn"t have to ask you, I knew. I
followed you the whole way in the car,   19 far enough back so you could not see me. I saw you
jump up and down at the last street corner. I 20 what you felt."
     Then I understood and I cried.
     Thanks. Dad.

It"s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise ,I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It"s a smile because the DVD is over , but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit. Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother"s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my "no thank you," or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it"s okay to just say "no." I shouldn"t feel sorry for refusing food that I don"t want to eat. So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self -confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It"s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. "I"m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it , "DeLuca recalls saying. " Buck said ,"You should open a sndwich shop."" That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for ﹩1000. DeLuca rented a storefront(店面 ) in Connecticut, and when they couldn"t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another ﹩1000. But business didn"t go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, "After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn"t know how badly, because we didn"t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They"d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. "We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’" And they did-in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners" learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “"It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn"t necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out, "DeLuca says. And having a goal was also important. "There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal, "DeLuca adds. DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.

Growing up in Philadelphia ,lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties (地方特色菜) in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends.
